Children’s workshops have always formed the mainstay of our focus and we have been running specialised “Arty Party” workshops since the beginning of 2010. Since inception these workshops have delighted parents and children alike. We offer school clubs, arty party workshops, birthday parties, Saturday clubs and term-time school workshops / field trips.
Our aim is to introduce children to the world of Art, to open their eyes to the environment around them and increase their visual awareness. The children will love the informal atmosphere. Being crazily creative and having lots of fun. Our workshops are a great opportunity for your child to try new and exciting Art and Craft techniques and materials, from throwing clay pots on a wheel to batik and oil painting to printing.
We are constantly amazed at the ability all the children have given the opportunity, materials and guidance. Each time we choose a theme from Africa to South America, from prehistoric paintings to outer space, we look at the subject from all angles.
For inspiration we look at contemporary artists and old masters, use events, or current exhibitions or often news items with interesting back grounds. We always endeavour to come up with new, innovative and exciting ideas for children, so they’ll want to come to the Art Centre every holiday- year after year after year!!
Our mini workshops usually last for two to three hours and in that time the children make something fantastic to take home, from jewelled mirrors to paper mache, birds, wooden boats to clay dinosaurs; something for children and parents treasure.
The Nairobi Art Centre has the capacity to maintain well over 40 kids. During our busy periods when we host the art parties we call-in our local artists & intern graduates to assist the in-house team, to assure each child gets attention.
We run various workshops, drawing classes, painting, pottery, fabric painting etc. For more information drop in and take a programme or for running a workshop or hiring out space to teach your own module, please contact our Registration Manager: Migael Andesha on 0727415678 or 0203587273.
